VM Windows 10 4k external monitor laggy, high cpu usage

Hello, I have a 16" Macbook Pro on Catalina 10.15.7 and when I connect my LG 4k display, my VM with windows 10 is laggy. Is there anything I can do to make it snappier or faster? I did notice that when I launch the VM when connected to my external monitor, I get "No 3d support is available from the host".

Also, within task manager, at idle my CPU usage is fine but whenever an application is started like chrome or theres multiple things going on, my cpu usage for that specific app reaches 100% with very high energy usage.

Here are my preferences

VMWARE Fusion Version 11.5.6

2 processor cores

13GB of ram (32GB on my macbook)

Screenshot attached are my video settings
